After looking at San Diego tax records, I've noticed that the owner has defaulted on their first tax payment.I am mainly using this post to see what other people's thoughts are. 

Granted, if they default then the property may come back to you, but, the 50% down should cover the buyers from going into negative equity and having incentive to default.

I have been monitoring Notice of Defaults in Cobb and Cherokee County for awhile.

This can include lawn care, drywall patching, appliance fixing and plumbing issues.Dealing with defaulting tenantsKeep detailed records of income and expenses for each propertyIf you don’t want plumbing calls over the weekend a property management firm may be the way to go.

@Tanner Flint yes, all the notices of default and stuff like that is available at the courthouse.

My question is, should the Buyer default would the house come back to me through a deed of trust, or would the current lender have positioning over me and take it over?

So i could default on all my loans and it wouldn't effect my credit? 

For example, if the buyer has a low-ish credit score and/or little previous business experience, then the person is a higher financial risk to us (has an increased likelihood of defaulting on the loan).

My question is:In a short sale the owner in default cannot be provided any funds from buyer.

Pay cash, most sellers will not sell the home and keep the loan as that can put them in a risky position especially if the state you are in takes a while to get someone out of a house they have defaulted on.
